No One Works Alone: XR Simulation for Interprofessional Teams

Healthcare rarely happens in isolation, yet simulation training often does. Getting nursing, medicine, EMS and allied health learners into the same sim at the same time is hard to schedule, hard to staff and hard to scale.

In this SSH Virtual Learning Lab, “No One Works Alone: XR Simulation for Interprofessional Teams,” SimX CEO Ryan Ribeira shows how multiplayer VR removes those barriers, with a live demonstration and practical strategies you can use right away.

By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:

• Describe how multiplayer VR simulation enables synchronous, discipline-specific interprofessional team training at a scale and fidelity not achievable through traditional methods.
• Identify key instructional design challenges in developing XR-based interprofessional simulations and apply strategies to address them in your own training environment.
• Evaluate emerging advances in immersive IPE technology, including AI-driven patient behaviors and large-team scenario support.

This learning lab is for simulation educators, program directors, sim operations specialists, and healthcare education leaders looking to take interprofessional training beyond traditional constraints.
